WordPress versions 4.4.1 and earlier are affected by two security
issues: a possible Side Request Forgery Vulnerability for certain
local URIs, reported by Ronni Skansing; and an open redirection
attack, reported by Shailesh Suthar.

  • CVE-2016-2221
    Wordpress could be vulnerable for an open redirection attack
    which was fixed by better validation of the URL used in HTTP
    redirects.
  • CVE-2016-2222
    It was discovered that Wordpress was susceptible for a possible Side
    Request Forgery Vulnerability because it considered for instance
    0.1.2.3 as a valid IP.

For Debian 6 Squeeze, these problems have been fixed in version
3.6.1+dfsg-1~deb6u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
